- Wash the rice and soak it in the water in which you drip 1-2 drops of lemon for 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the rice, melt the butter in the pan, add the oil.

- After roasting the rice, add the boiling water. Add salt, sugar and vinegar and mix as follows. Turn the heat down and close the lid.
- Meanwhile, strain chickpeas, set aside.
- When the rice absorbs the water, remove it from the stove, put a towel on it, close the lid and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- At the end, you can either mix the chickpeas with the rice completely, or serve the chickpeas by putting them on the rice.
